- Yield: 1 heaping Tbsp. per garlic bulb.
- NOTES : Inspired by three versions: a recipe in Diane Worthington's California Cook book; the chicken salad with broccoli and almonds sold at Ralph's delicatessen this summer; and our habit. Lower the fat (combine dressings) and increase the flavor: add in tarragon, mustard and lemon peel. This is addictive stuff. Serve on a good sour dough bread or possibly an oat nut seeded bread. Chop finer and spread on crostini.
